The meaning of this sentence in ancient times
In ancient times, people called men and women differently according to their age. Generally speaking, old men are called "longevity" and old women are called "happiness".
The word "star anise" is two words, both of which mean very old people. Although the meaning is the same, it refers to different ages.
These two sentences were first recorded in the Book of Songs, and Cao Cao also mentioned them in his Song of Drinking.
The phrase "you can die when you are very old, and you can benefit plants and insects" just reflects this lean man's childlike heart for the world.
It is precisely because the word "octogenarian" is similar to the word "cat" and "butterfly".
Therefore, the ancients often painted butterflies and cats on some ceramics, paintings or other utensils, meaning long life and longevity. This kind of picture is also called "Cat Butterfly Map" by later generations.
On the Usage of "Keke"
In ancient books, the word "Qi" often represents the venerable old man, such as "Old Man" and "Qi Year". It originally meant people over 60, but now we usually refer to this group of old people.
The same is true of "East", which is often used as a general term for the elderly.
We can observe the shape of "East" to see if it looks like an old hunchback. This is the wonder and interest of Chinese characters.
In addition to these four words, there are many appellations for the age of the elderly in ancient times, each of which has far-reaching implications and embodies the profoundness of Chinese characters.
For example, Confucius once said that "sixty is pleasant to the ear, and seventy is satisfactory", so "the year that is pleasant to the ear" has become synonymous with 60 years old.
In addition, people often say "61 years old", so "60 years old" is also a statement.
"The year of one's heart" and "seventy years old" are ancient names for 70 years old. Du Fu's poem "Life is seventy years old and rare" simply means that people who can live to seventy years old in ancient times are very rare.
Not only that, when the ancients reached the age of 70, they often "retired gloriously", and the buses that they usually took in North Korea were put on hold and no longer used, so the "trailer year" was also used to address the 70-year-old man.
Qi Yi means that people can live to 100 years old. Zhu's explanation of "period" is "the meaning of tying", which means that life has changed for the better.
H is the age when people need careful care, which is why we often say "supporting life" now.
It is in the Chinese characters that our simple feelings are placed.
Just as the word "old" records the age of the old people, it also conveys the beautiful meaning of filial piety, respect for the old, longevity and peace, so these words can be passed down to this day and used by us.
